Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The defendant’s failure to obey the orders of this court supports the trustee’s argument that he is attempting to impede the administration of this case by deferring the payment of debts owed to a taxing authority since 1990 and secured creditors since 1991. That explanation is buttressed by the observation that the onset of the defendant’s alleged symptoms routinely coincided with the dates of court ordered medical examinations. He simply declined to attend and then offered the excuse that he was too ill to travel. Accordingly, judgment will enter in favor of the trustee.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In Re Hutter“... a long series of coordinated attempts by the debtor and her husband ... to hinder and delay their secured creditors in the Connecticut court system, and then, when the Connecticut Supreme Court denied their petition for certification, they continued those efforts in this court by repeated attempts to obstruct the bankruptcy process.”
